Reviews for Dave's Hot Chicken in Naperville, IL
Place is pretty solid. It tastes just like the one in LA. The service was great. Food came out on time. And most of all, they... were friendly and ready to educate about the menu. The restaurant could use some more busing because our table was sticky butother than that, this location keeps up with all the other ones in town. I would highly recommend you get the hot flavor and eatit with honey, that?s the best combination. Also, they were nice enough to give water cups. And more more additional point, eventhough the line was long and out the door, they were able to take everyone?s order quickly Read more
We are originally from TN. We?ve been constantly forgetting that this place exists today was our first time. Look it?s good. I... can?t deny that. I was wondering why it wasn?t more busy as it was dinner time. Now I get it we ordered #3 which is a slider anda tender. Order was messed up at first, no big deal. We got out slider tender and additional tender. It was fresh and crispy butthey clearly left the bread out because it was almost like toast it was so dry. Every component is important, no matter howsmall. Like I said, it?s tasty but the prices are nuts. For the number #3 and one additional tender was $20. Came with fries, nodrink and dry bread. All in all it was good. Nothing as good as Nashville but I?d say give it a try if you have money to burn. Read more
We came here after a short hike at the Starved Rock State Park around 3pm. It was not too busy and the deco/music was cool. The... cashier guy is super nice and made us feel welcome. We ordered #4 with 2 sliders and fries. The fried chicken slider (hot) hitthe spot for us, and the fries was hot and crispy. I think the flavor was slight better than Chikfila, highly recommended!!

First time here came in with high expectations after eating some Nashville hot chicken last week. Personally recommend getting... the chicken sandwich because the slaw and cheese blend well with the chicken patty / Tender they use on the sand which. TheTenders by themselves are too seasoned and over powered by the seasoning to eat alone. The side Mac and cheese was delicious nocomplaints with the chicken sandwich or Mac and cheese just don?t recommend tenders. The fries were well seasoned and cookedgood take at Nashville hot but just too much seasoning. Read more
Pros: Great seasoning. Slider was cooked perfectly. Medium was a medium heat unlike places that are hot such as Port or Peri,... for example. Cons: small portion for $15. Where?s the cheese? Looks like melted cheese was spread thin with a butterknife. Doesn?t look anything like the pictures they advertise on their menu. Small portion. Tenders were tiny. Slider is small.An average person with a decent appetite wouldn?t be satisfied. Chicken tender was dry, not horrible. Slider wasbetter. Overall, Definitely give it a try as a lunch and not a last minute quick dinner. Read more
Dave's Hot Chicken has a fun dinner feel to it. I went on a weekday for lunch and ordered the two piece tenders. The whole... menu is very small and easy to figure out. I like the little stickers they put next to each tender as I ordered one medium andone Hot. The chicken was very good, with a great flavor on the crispy breading and nice big juicy chicken. The Hot is ligit hotand they still have two more levels of heat up from hot. I'm temped to order my next with no spice as the chicken was that goodon it's own. I only recommendation is if they could upgrade the wonder bread to a Texas toast. Read more
I had a good food experience here. I ordered online and picked up instore but when I went in, there was standing room only. The... place was packed with a couple people in line to order. I had the 2 tender meal with mac and cheese. The macaroni and cheese wasgood if not a little too wet. The tenders were cooked very well and were still moist on the inside. It is nice that you canorder different things (spice levels) for each strip in your order. I ordered one Extra hot and the other Reaper hot. I wouldsay the Reaper was hotter than the extra hot but in a different way. It seems like the extra hot relies heavily on the cayennepepper for the source of heat as it was a very up front spicy heat to the chicken. I would say 7/10. The reaper used more thanlikely carolina reaper powder as it was very slow build up of HEAT. This was hotter than the extra hot but in a differentprofile. I would say that it was 8-8.5/10. Good stuff and would like to go back again. Read more
